While you can turn-off Facebook's link to Spotify once you've signed up, it will no doubt alienate some potential users who don't want to have a Facebook account in order to try Spotify.

Daniel Ek, CEO and founder of Spotify, confirmed the move on Twitter, saying, "We want to remove [the] barrier to sign-up and create a more seamless experience. As we think our users are social."

However he did admit that they could change the policy if the response was negative: "We'll try lots of things, and probably screw up from time to time, but we value feedback and will make changes based on it."

Let us know what you think of the changes in the comments section below.
